Introduction About This Project Introduction Welcome to the history of the Washington University School of Dental Medicine. Established in 1866 by the Missouri State Dental Association, the Missouri Dental College was the first dental college west of the Mississippi River and the sixth such school in the nation. The school was initially affiliated with the St. Louis Medical College and subsequently the Washington University School of Medicine. In its 125 years of existence, the dental school changed both its name and its location, yet always retained its commitment to the advancement of dental education and dentistry as a profession. The Washington University School of Dental Medicine trained more than five thousand dentists, many of whom built influential careers and contributed to advances in clinical education, operative technique, and scientific research in dentistry. About this Project Entrance to the Washington University School of Dentistry, 1952 This online exhibit highlighting the history of the Washington University School of Dental Medicine was initiated at the request of the school’s Alumni Association. Much of the content of this web site came from the records of the Washington University School of Dental Medicine, which are stored in the Archives of the Washington University School of Medicine. Images for this digital exhibit were selected from several of the visual collections held in the Bernard Becker Medical Library relating to the Washington University School of Dental Medicine. The list of alumni of the Washington University School of Dental Medicine was compiled using several sources, including the Executive Committee of the Faculty minutes, the General Alumni Catalogue of Washington University (1917), and alumni lists published in school catalogs and class yearbooks. Every attempt has been made to create a comprehensive and accurate listing, and to resolve the conflicting information in different sources. Bibliographical sources used include: Missouri State Dental Association, History Committee. (1938). The History of Dentistry in Missouri. Fulton, Missouri: Ovid Bell Press, Inc.

The profession itself was as well – more of a trade than a profession, more a mechanical art than a science. There were few formal schools; new dentists learned working under practicing dentists who were willing to share their few dental texts and pass on their practical knowledge. The need for able dentists was great, especially in the rapidly expanding west. Nowhere was this more obvious than in the state of Missouri. Between 1860 and 1870 Missouri grew from the 8th most populous state to the fifth most populous. In 1860 St. Louis ranked eighth in population in the United States; by 1870 the city, with a population of nearly 311,000, was the fourth largest city in the country. Practicing dentists were beginning to recognize the need for professionalizing their field by establishing local, state and national organizations and for formalizing dental education. Missouri Dental College diploma, 1888 In 1864 dentist Henry E. Peebles began soliciting his fellow dentists in Missouri to join him in forming a state dental society. On October 31, 1865 the Missouri State Dental Society was established. At the Society’s first annual meeting a committee was formed to investigate the formation of a dental college under its auspices. A recommendation to open a school in St. Louis followed, especially encouraged by the offer from the St. Louis Medical College to share its lecture rooms, museum and hospitals. In the fall of 1866 the newly formed Missouri Dental College was incorporated. The Missouri Dental College was only the sixth dental school opened in the United States. It was the first dental school established west of the Mississippi River and the first in the world to be affiliated with a medical college. The first course of lectures began on October 1, 1866 and closed on February 22, 1867, making it a course of five months duration. The following year the course of study was expanded to two years of lectures. There were eleven graduates in the first class – all were practicing dentists and some were among the founders of the college. Of the members of the first faculty, six held the M.D. degree and two held the D.D.S. degree. In its 125 years of existence, 15 deans presided over the school: 1866‐1874 Homer Judd 1874‐1875 Charles W. Rivers 1875‐1878 William H. Eames 1878‐1899 Henry H. Mudd 1899‐1901 Albert H. Fuller 1901‐1922 John H. Kennerly 1922‐1932 Walter M. Bartlett 1932‐1933 Jesse D. White (acting dean) 1933‐1945 Benno E. Lischer 1945‐1953 Otto W. Brandhorst 1953‐1967 Leroy R. Boling 1967‐1976 John T. Bird 1976‐1987 George D. Selfridge 1987‐1989 David A. Bensinger 1989‐1991 Richard Jay Smith The School occupied six* different buildings: 1866‐1892 7th and Myrtle Streets (now Clark Street) 1892‐1902 1814 Lucas Place (now Locust Street) 1902‐1905 27th and Locust Streets 1905‐1909 Locust and Beaumont Streets (old Mary Institute Building) 1909‐1928 29th and Locust Streets 1928‐1991 4559 Scott Avenue In addition, in 1962 the Carlyn H. Wohl Research Center opened adjacent to the Scott Avenue Building, providing an additional twenty‐eight thousand square feet of space and new quarters for the dental school library. In 1975, a four‐story six thousand square foot addition at the west end of the school’s main building was completed, providing additional laboratory, clinic and faculty office space. In 1986 a five‐story addition was completed (extending a previously recessed section of the building to the main building line along Scott Avenue and building in an inner courtyard of the existing building). There were changes to the name of the school over the years as well: 1866‐1892 Missouri Dental College 1892‐1909 Dental Department of Washington University 1909‐1919 Washington University Dental School 1919‐1974 Washington University School of Dentistry 1974‐1991 Washington University School of Dental Medicine And changes to the degrees conferred: 1866‐1891 Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) degree awarded 1892‐1900 Doctor of Dental Medicine (D.M.D.) degree awarded 1901‐1972 D.D.S. degree awarded 1973‐1991 D.M.D. degree awarded In 1880 the Missouri State Dental Association passed a resolution permitting the Missouri Dental College to elect its own trustees. The following year the college was incorporated as its own entity, no longer under the auspices of the state association. In 1891 the St. Louis Medical College became the Medical Department of Washington University. The following year, under the deanship of Dr. Henry H. Mudd, the Missouri Dental College affiliated with the University as well, becoming the Dental Department of Washington University. Class of 1911 Sophia Wachsmuth was the first woman to receive a dental degree from Washington University, having been admitted on an experimental basis in 1908. She successfully completed her degree, graduating with the class of 1910. Two women graduated the following year. Female matriculants were scarce, however; less than twenty women had graduated from the Washington University School of Dentistry by 1942. Although the admission of women started to climb noticeably in the 1970s, the percentage of female class members never exceeded one‐third of the total. In 1906 the Dental Department of Washington University began offering post‐graduate courses in clinical dentistry. Beginning in 1939 post‐graduate degree courses of study in dentistry were offered through the Washington University School of Graduate Studies. By the early 1950s the school offered post‐graduate master of science degrees in the fields of Dental Medicine, Dental Pediatrics, Oral Surgery, Orthodontics, and Prosthetics. Other departments, such as Radiology, Operative Dentistry, Crown and Bridge, and Dental Materials offered courses of post‐graduate study by the early 1960s. Class in Operative Dentistry, 1911 Admission requirements for the Washington University School of Dental Medicine evolved over the years. In its first year the Missouri Dental College required that its candidates be of “good moral character” and have been in the reputable practice of dentistry since 1858. In 1880 the College adopted the American Dental Association’s resolution requiring “a good English education as a preliminary qualification for its Matriculants, to be ascertained by examination.” eIn 1886 th admission requirements stated that “candidates must have a good English education, as evidence of which a diploma from a reputable literary institution, teacher’s certificate, or other evidence of qualification will be accepted in lieu of an examination.” A recommendation made by the National Association of Dental Examiners requiring a high school diploma or its equivalent for admission were adopted for the 1906‐07 term. Washington University Dental Journal, 1922 In 1921 the Washington University School of Dentistry instituted a requirement for one year of college as a prerequisite for admission. Declining admissions by mid‐decade prompted the school to revert to the requirement of only a high school diploma – it was the only school in the country to do so – thus increasing the number of incoming freshmen in 1926 to sixty‐one.

  • Dental School What Is Dental School?
    Professional School Prep: Dental School What is Dental School? Dental school is a four-year Doctorate-level program in which students learn the science of oral medicine and patient care, and earn a DDS or DMD degree. Commonly students will complete a bachelors degree and the prerequisites from a regionally ac- credited institution and enter Dental school. Following graduation, students may choose to specialize in a specific area such as Endodontics, Orthodontics, Oral Surgery, Periodontics, or others, or they may decide to work in a general dentistry residency. What should I know about Dental School? Related Fields Traditional dental schools are divided into two main parts. During the first Podiatry Dental Hygiene two years students take mainly take biological, dental-oriented science Chiropractic Medicine Naturopathy courses. During the third and fourth years, students are involved in clinical study (often called rotations), which includes direct patient care, as well Physical Therapy Nursing as some practical management skills. Students should be prepared to Medical Doctor Public Health have a keen eye for detail and particularly a strong ability to work with their hands, as molding and crafting are large parts of their coursework . Optometry Clinical Psychology Where can I study Dentistry? The only Dental school in Washington is at the UW (www.dental.washington.edu/), with approximately 66 DDS/DMD granting den- tal schools nationwide (to review these, see the ADA website: www.ada.org/en/education-careers/dental-schools-and-programs). How do I get started? While considering, preparing for, and attending Dental school, you should seriously and truthfully think about these questions and others: Is dentistry the only profession you can see yourself doing? Do you understand that you will likely go into substantial debt in order to pursue this dream? Can you accept that you may need to make sacrifices to prepare for and while completing Dental school? Students pursuing Dental school should remember the acronym “S-T-A-R-T”.

  • Dental Medicine (DDS/DMD)
    Pre-Health Information for Dental Medicine (DDS/DMD) Dentists who have a DMD or DDS have the similar education. Both degrees use the same curriculum requirements set by the American Dental Association and the type of degree awarded is determined by the university. Profession web site(s): www.ada.org , www.adea.org Application web site: www.adea.org/aadsas or for Texas schools: www.tmdsas.com Admission/Entrance exam:– DAT (Dental Admission Test) Transcripts: Official transcripts from ALL institutions attended, including Marquette University, must be sent directly from the institution to the central application service. If you completed study abroad courses at a U.S. sponsored program abroad, you must send transcripts. If you studied abroad and the courses and grades do not appear on a U.S. transcript, then you need to have transcripts sent to AADSAS from the foreign school or an evaluation service. Course prerequisites: Course prerequisites vary by program. Typical prerequisites include Biology 1001, 1002, a separate lab course such as Biology 2001, a biochemistry course, Chemistry 1001, 1002, 2111, 2112, Physics 1001 and 1002. Different course numbers for majors (e.g., Chemistry 1014 for Majors) will be accepted. Physics is required for dental school but not for the DAT. Many dental schools require courses such as Biochemistry, Anatomy, Physiology and/or Microbiology, Psychology, Sociology and other upper level biology or science courses. Students should research schools to which they will apply early enough to ensure they can complete all necessary pre-requisite courses. Observation hours/experience: Dental schools like to see well-rounded applications and look for quality and depth of experiences rather than requiring a specific number of hours.

  • Factors Influencing Dental Hygienists' Decisions to Pursue Doctoral Degrees
    RESEARCH Factors Influencing Dental Hygienists’ Decisions to Pursue Doctoral Degrees Emma Carpenter, RDH, MS; Ann A Lazar, PhD; Gwen Essex, RDH, MS, EdD, Cheryl A Davis, RDH, MS, JD; Dorothy J Rowe, RDH, MS, PhD Abstract Purpose: To identify the factors that have influenced dental hygienists to pursue post-graduate education opportunities, specifically dental (DDS, DMD) as compared to academic doctoral degrees, such as doctor of philosophy (PhD) or doctor of education (EdD). Methods: A convenience sample of dental hygienists with doctoral degrees were identified from multiple sources (n=140) and sent a 27-item web-based survey. Univariate logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influence of independent variables (respondents’ demographic and personal characteristics, influential persons and experiences, encouraging and motivating factors) on the respondents’ decision to pursue either a dental or an academic doctoral degree. Results: Of the 140 potential participants, 69 (n=69) responded (49% response rate): 17 dental degree respondents, 46 academic degree respondents. In contrast to academic degree respondents, those with dental degrees graduated from dental hygiene programs more recently (p=0.03), spent less time working as a dental hygienist (p=0.01), considered themselves mechanically inclined (p=0.03), and preferred to learn a new skill rather than read about a current research study (p=0.002). Both groups agreed that working one-on-one with people was important to career satisfaction. Dental degree respondents were more likely to have been influenced or encouraged to pursue dentistry by dentists (p=0.01) and family (p=0.004). Academic degree respondents were more likely to have had experiences with a researcher/ scientist (p=0.004) or had been influenced by an educator (p=0.01).
